T-Mobile 3G Network Expansion: List of U.S. Cities Going 3G in 2009
By James Falconer on Wednesday, May 20th, 2009 at 4:29 PM PST In T-Mobile
Earlier today my bud David over at TMoNews scored some details regarding T-Mobile (NYSE: DT)’s expansion of their 3G network. The details had 3G speeds hitting Rockford IL on May 15th, Springfield IL on May 19th, Henderson NV on May 21st, and Wichita Falls TX on May 22. With some of these dates already passing us, many T-Mobile subscribers in Rockford and Springfield should be noticing the change. However, as we’re well aware T-Mobile is planning to expand its 3G network to cover approximately 200 million people across the US. That’s a big expansion… To that end, a large list of 3G launch dates in various cities across the US has been found. Make the jump for the complete list of cities going 3G on T-Mo, organized by quarter.

I hate to tell you this, but Des Moines isn’t in Idaho.
Yeah, I just noticed that, too. I think it will still be a while before 3G makes it to Idaho.
Why T-Mobile didn’t put Puerto Rico on their list. Curently AT&T and CLARO PR are the only cellphone companies providing 3g coverage in Puerto Rico.
Sprint in P.R. has 3G coverage too…(i’m with them) and if by “3G” you mean “broadband like speeds” then you should add Centennial too (i personally tried it)…right now there only 2 carriers in PR that doesn’t offer 3G speeds and those are T-Mobile and Open Mobile…just my 2 cents…Take care BORICUAAAAAAAAASSSSSS!!!!!
Seriously, Puerto Rico should be on the list the island is so small that it would only take two 3G towers to cover all the most populated regions , and although the island is small, there are enough t-mobile subscribers to use the 3G frequently, considering the fact that Puerto Rico is more populated than China, population density wise anyway. Oh well T-mobile still rules anyway
All I got to say is that Indianapolis aka Naptown is now under T-mobile 3G blanket woke up this morning to a big 3G display from my LX on 09/09/09.
Thanks T-mobile
I have a t-mobile my touch 3g and there is no 3g
I live in riverside, ca and I have no “3G” I just have “G” >=/
I’m sorry, why do people still go for T-Mobile. Even after all this expansion, a very large percentage of their network still only operates in EDGE or GPRS. One guy up there says he bought a MyTouch3G, and lives in an area where there’s no 3G. They may have had the first Android device, they may have excellent customer service, and fairly competitive prices, but man… they’re seriously behind. VZW, AT&T and S/N are already talking about LTE and WiMax (4G), respectively. I mean, c’mon… All this time and major metro-areas like ElPaso, Nashville, Cincinatti, Cleveland, Charleston, Albuquerque have been only on EDGE and GPRS? I’d take crappy customer service and boring phones to be with Sprint with EVDO pretty much everywhere. They have so much EVDO, I have some lying around somewhere in my apartment.
September 30th and no 3g! I’m not a very happy person. Topeka, KS was supposed to get 3g this quarter. What’s the hold up?
Looks like I’ll be looking at ATT, Verizon or Sprint when my contract is up. At least they can provide 3g where I live.
I’m noticing 3G this morning, couldn’t figure it out and did a search. I am 55 miles from Rochester, MN. Am I getting their 3G?
